Disco Music

Disco Music, genre of dance music that has been a major influence on popular dance culture since the late 1970s, when its soul-based vocals, compulsive bass lines, and thumping beats made the music a pop sensation. Originating as the music of a gay, Latino, and black urban club subculture in the United States, disco’s early hits included Manu Dibango’s “Soul Makossa” and Barry White’s orchestral-backed “Love’s Theme” (both 1973), Hues Corporation’s “Rock the Boat” and George McRae’s “Rock Your Baby” (both 1974, the latter reaching number one in the United Kingdom chart). It was Van McCoy’s 10 million-selling single “The Hustle” (1975), however, that established disco as a worldwide musical phenomenon and dance craze. The Philadelphia-based producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff’s “Philly Sound” (setting soul vocals over vigorous dance rhythms and lush orchestral backing) was characteristic of early disco, while KC and the Sunshine Band pioneered the “Miami Sound” (using Latin percussion, and excited whistles and shouts), becoming in 1975-1976 the first group since the Beatles in 1964 to have three number ones in 12 months in the American chart (with “Get Down Tonight”, “That’s the Way (I Like It)”, and “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty”). Donna Summer’s “Love to Love You, Baby” (1976, produced by Munich-based Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellote) introduced the symphonic synthesizer lines and layered vocals of Euro-disco (later popularized by Abba), and the mass popularity of the film Saturday Night Fever (1977, starring John Travolta) kept its soundtrack (including new Bee Gees songs and classics like the Trammps’ “Disco Inferno”) at number one for 24 weeks, selling more than 30 million copies. The Bee Gees matched another Beatles achievement in 1978 with three singles (“Stayin’ Alive”, “How Deep is Your Love”, and “Night Fever”) simultaneously in the American top 10.

Disco’s mainstream appeal faded in the early 1980s, but the gay disco scene proved resilient, with the success of Sylvester and Village People in the late 1970s continuing as hi-NRG into early 1990s. Disco records, designed for the dance floor, were promoted by disc jockeys in clubs rather than by live bands, and in the mid-1970s 12-inch singles (often with the beats per minute, or bpm, printed on the record) were introduced to help DJs mix records. The release of different remixes (giving songs extended percussion breaks, for example) was also pioneered, emphasizing the importance of studio-based producers rather than individual performers. The evident debt of house music to disco led to a revival in the 1990s, though the music had previously been scorned by rock critics.

Pop Music

Michael Jackson
The American singer, dancer, and songwriter Michael Jackson performs during a 1993 concert tour in Asia. Jackson began his career as a child performing with his brothers in the group known as the Jackson Five, and achieved worldwide fame as a solo performer, largely due to his highly personal style of singing and dancing. Jackson’s greatest musical success, the 1982 album Thriller, won an unprecedented eight Grammy awards, produced a record-breaking seven Top Ten hits, and became the best-selling album in history. Because of Jackson’s eccentric and reclusive lifestyle, he has been a frequent target of the media spotlight.

Synthesizer

Synthesizer (music), machine which electronically generates and manipulates sounds. The musical synthesizer generates sounds which reproduce or extend those of existing musical instruments, or invents new ones. The wave forms generated by the machine are altered in duration, pitch, and quality by the use of devices such as amplifiers, mixers, filters, reverberators, sequencers, and frequency modulators. The first synthesizer appeared in 1955, and was developed by Olsen and Belar at the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) in Princeton. It was intended for research into the properties of sound, rather than as a musical instrument. A number of composers became interested in widening the range of available sounds and in having complete control over their music through the use of the machine, including Milton Babbitt, Marion Davido, Morton Subotnik, and Charles Wuorinen. The best known musical synthesizer is the Moog synthesizer, which was the first “user-friendly” machine, being small enough for home use. It first appeared in the 1960s and is operated by one or more keyboards. An almost infinite range of sounds and combinations of sounds is possible, and most musical instruments can be effectively imitated. Sounds can also be produced which are far beyond the capability of any conventional musical instrument and which can be combined with signals from microphones. As well as their use in composition, synthesizers are used to arrange instrumental music, as in the highly successful recordings of Bach made by Walter Carlos in 1969. The Moog synthesizer was followed by others of similar design by such companies as Buchla and Putney. In the 1960s and 1970s more compact machines were produced using microcomputers and making possible the digital recording of sounds. In addition to their use by serious musicians, synthesizers are very popular with rock groups, who use them to achieve some startling effects.

Style Synthesizer

Electronic Keyboard-Style Synthesizer
The electronic synthesizer is capable of mimicking the sounds produced by most traditional musical instruments and combining two or more of these sounds. It is popular with rock-and-roll and jazz musicians and is also used by composers and students of music. The synthesizer pictured here is a portable model, but these instruments come in varying sizes and can be very large.Encarta EncyclopediaDorling Kindersley
